Brief Summary

Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices are used toventilate the patients by delivering gases above the level of vocal cords. Based on their differentsealing mechanisms and aspiration protection designs, SGA devices are broadlyclassified into the first generation devices (inflatable cuff), secondgeneration (preshaped) and third generation devices (self energizing) as perMiller’s new classification.

Ambu aura gain is asecond generation SGA made of polyvinyl chloride meant for single use withpreformed shape. It is the only anatomically curved SGA device with integratedgastric access and also provides high sealing pressures that reduce the risk ofaspiration leading to higher safety level. It has bite block andalso a wider airway tube providing as an intubation conduit similar to Ambuaura once and LMA proseal. Baska mask is a novelthird generation SGA made of medical grade silicone and available in four sizesof 3, 4, 5 and 6 based on body weight. The characteristic feature of this mask is thatthe airway pressure is transmitted intermittently to the flexile element of thecuff so that it inflates and deflates with each positive pressure inspirationand expiration respectively thus forming a perfect seal, reducing leaks andmaking intermittent positive pressure ventilation very efficient.

Many studies areavailable comparing the efficiency of 3rd generation Baska mask withvarious second generation SGA devices by various authors. Currently, there are no available studies that have compared the efficiency ofAmbu aura gain and Baska mask. Hence this prospective randomized comparativestudy is being undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety between Ambuaura gain and Baska mask as supraglottic airway device in adult patientsundergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia.
